Part of Lesson Plan: The Importance of a Proper Work Station

Activity Overview / Details

As students enter the room they are handed a cupcake recipe. As they walk toward the table they see it is a mess. They are told that there is no time to setup work stations.The students are also told they need to hurry and get started with no time to waste. They have a fifteen minute deadline to get the batter together.

• At this point the students are probably complaining not enough time, not enough space and the overall presence in the room should be a very disorganized mess
• The instructor will now enter the middle of the room and loudly call time out 
• Everybody must stop.
• The instructor will have the class sit on stools and explain that the true lesson plan is on the Proper Work Station.
